Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 479 - 478: The Feast at Hongmen

Feng Qingyang didn’t expect that the top mercenary under his command, Lizard, would actually find the Priest?!

"Boss, this time the Priest came entirely because of Asura. It’s said that Asura has already infiltrated here. His purpose is to meet Asura. Of course, since we’re on good terms, he will take care of the Fang Family first, and then find Asura for a battle."

Lizard spoke with a hint of excitement.

Ever since these two people retired, many felt regretful because they could no longer witness them continuing to write their legend.

However, having the chance to know who is really the strongest in the world thrilled Lizard to no end.

"Very good, then I won’t have to bother with the Fang Family here."

"Don’t worry, with me and the ripper, plus the Priest, the Fang Family will surely have no chance!" Lizard assured confidently.

In just a few days, the branch of New Horizon in the Capital reopened, and Gu Xiaoqing also learned that Fang Shaohan had already been released because the elder of the Fang Family was seriously ill and had to rush back.

According to Fang Zhixue, the old man may not make it through this ordeal.

"Does that mean we’ve won this time?"

Ye Mingyue was overjoyed to see everything return to normal.

But Gu Xiaoqing felt a cloud hanging over her head. She immediately contacted Ryan and Lang. She’d been so busy recently that now, when she finally had some rest, her first instinct was to check on her family.

She found out, however, that she had suddenly lost contact with the two of them.

A bad thought surfaced in her mind instantly. Such a simple diversion tactic, Gu Xiaoqing realized she had been too careless.

Or rather, she didn’t expect Feng Qingyang to be so powerful, taking care of Ryan and Lang silently.

Ye Mingyue saw the bad expression on Gu Xiaoqing’s face and asked worriedly, "What’s wrong, Xiaoqing?"

"My family is in Feng Qingyang’s hands."

With a frown, Gu Xiaoqing knew Feng Qingyang wouldn’t let anything happen to them. His only goal was to force her to hand over all the business in South Asia.

Just then, the office door opened, and Ye Mingyue’s secretary came in, saying, "Miss Gu, there’s a Mr. Wu here to see you."

"Let him in."

Gu Xiaoqing composed herself, knowing her family wouldn’t be in mortal danger; otherwise, Feng Qingyang would gain nothing while facing her full vengeance.

For Feng Qingyang, a businessman, such a move would be unwise.

Moreover, she had to consider her next step carefully.

She hadn’t expected even the retired Ryan and the rarely matched Lang to be handled, and without any prior information.

This indicated that there was a top expert on the other side, and this expert was incredibly formidable!

It was naturally Xiao Wu who entered, hurrying into the office and telling Gu Xiaoqing, "Miss Gu, there’s word from the Ancient City. Someone wants you to go there. If you do, they’ll give us the right to develop the rare mineral."

"I should go?"

"Yes, it’s definitely a trap. It’s obvious. And they said you’ll come for sure. If you don’t, you’ll regret it... so I need to ask you..."

"A Hongmen banquet?"

Gu Xiaoqing tapped the desk, murmuring.

"I wonder if something happened?"

Xiao Wu looked at Gu Xiaoqing. In the past, someone tried to threaten him with his elderly mother, but it was useless. Not to mention he would never betray Gu Xiaoqing, his mother herself said she would not forgive him even in death if he ever did anything against his benefactors.

Eventually, the issue was resolved perfectly.

His elderly mother continued her normal life, completely unaffected.

Xiao Wu’s attitude made it clear that threats wouldn’t work on him.

As for Xiao Wu’s son, he was later sent to study in the United States. Xiao Wu often went to see him, as he wasn’t short on money for first-class tickets anyway.

"Yes, it should be. Both my parents are in their hands."

Gu Xiaoqing suspected that her younger brother might also be held.

Seeing Gu Xiaoqing speak so calmly, Xiao Wu felt relieved that at least she hadn’t lost her head.

Her calmness stemmed from a thorough understanding of Feng Qingyang’s motives.

Or perhaps Feng Qingyang never intended to kill; he simply wanted to lure Gu Xiaoqing.

"Then..."

"We will go to the Ancient City and talk to them," Gu Xiaoqing said.

Xiao Wu was momentarily at a loss and said, "That’s too dangerous. How about I go, and you stay here? I’ll report every negotiation detail to you." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"No, Xiao Wu, you don’t need to. Help me secure the development rights for this rare mineral. I’ll negotiate alone with them. Don’t worry, they won’t do anything to me. On the contrary, I think we’ll have a pleasant conversation."

Gu Xiaoqing replied with a smile.

Ye Mingyue and Xiao Wu were puzzled.

As a woman, how she wished Fang Shaohan could accompany her. Unfortunately, Fang Shaohan had to return home, as his family was also in mortal danger.

From Feng Qingyang’s methods, it seemed that many formidable people came this time.

Moreover, given Fang Shaohan’s grandfather’s serious illness, she couldn’t let him stay with her for both emotional and rational reasons. So he returned home as soon as his quarantine ended.

A good woman must be more lucid at critical moments.

As for her side, she could handle negotiations with Feng Qingyang by herself.

After all, she wasn’t a pushover.

Taking a flight from Southern Sea City to the northern Ancient City, Gu Xiaoqing was a bit unaccustomed to the northern dry air.

Xiao Wu accompanied her to the Ancient City, but his job was solely to secure the mineral rights, while Gu Xiaoqing would handle the rest of the negotiations herself.

After booking a hotel, Gu Xiaoqing knew Feng Qingyang would approach her.

So she adjusted her state of mind, rehearsing potential scenarios in her head, anticipating various situations, and how she could handle them.

Xiao Wu arranged for the hotel staff to bring dinner to her room. After a day of rest, her room door suddenly knocked.

A waiter entered after her approval, handing her a note, saying, "Someone asked me to give this to you."

Gu Xiaoqing nodded, allowing the waiter to leave.

"This Feng Qingyang is really considerate, letting me rest for a day."

Gu Xiaoqing opened the note. Though she didn’t have to look to know it was Feng Qingyang’s arrangement for their meeting location.

Of course, the location was chosen to be highly unfavorable for Gu Xiaoqing, located in a resort manor in the suburbs outside the Ancient City.

Though called a resort manor, it had just been built, akin to a rural tourist spot.

Going in there was like entering a village.

Heaven knows who were Feng Qingyang’s people and who were local.

Furthermore, it was quite far from the Ancient City District, with only a highway leading in, surrounded by large orchards and plantation bases.
